Reply #18: Hey, the most important question in journalism [View All]

[MrBenchley]

is "Where's the bar?"

But that's not the most stupid question I've ever heard from a journalist. To get to the real boneheads, you have to go to the sports section.

I've got a tie for first place:

One was the guy who asked Doug Williams on the eve of the Super Bowl, "Doug, how long have you been a black quarterback?"

And the other was the guy at the press conference after Mickey Mantle's liver transplant "How is the person who donated the liver?" (The doctor's answer: "You're a sportswriter, aren't you?")
